I've had a few meals here - dinner and lunch - and found the kitchen very consistent and imaginative. It is very popular, and therefore often crowded, but the noise level is tolerable (not quiet, by any means, but not disturbingly noisy either). The traditional Creole gumbo is particularly good, richly flavored, generous portion.

The Gage has the best Irish breakfast this side of Dublin! The breakfast sausages are house made as is most everything! The cuisine is excellent, savory, imaginative and outstanding. The soups are always special as well. One of my can't fail go to restaurants.

Read about the Gage while researching restaurants for our Chicago trip. We go to Chicago every year for a medical meeting and try a new place each year. Well this year's new spot was a winner.

We had a party of 5 for dinner two weeks ago. The food is good. My lamb shank is a bit over cooked, but the dessert is good. My party enjoys their entree dishes. Service is great, and we have a good time.

Right in the thick of it, The Gage is a well run central meeting spot,
with a good all round eating / bar facility. Good Menu and well stocked bar. Good attentive and helpful staff, nothing too much trouble to make your stay more enjoyable.

Neighbourhood Profile

Downtown / The Loop

Often visitors' first stop in Chicago, The Loop is a good starting point to sample the city's energy and flavor. This central business district boasts Michelin-rated restaurants, upscale hotels, premier shopping, and enough arresting architecture to keep your camera busy for hours. You won’t find too many photo galleries of downtown Chicago without a shot of Millennium Park and Cloud Gate (“The Bean”), one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. A stunning skyline coupled with cultural attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago present a Downtown where work and play peacefully coexist.
